Delta Attention Residuals for Cross-Layer Information Flow in Indic Models
NeurIPS Workshop 2026 · Accepted
Introduces Delta Attention Residuals and Delta Block to improve cross-layer information flow in Qwen3-0.6B while preserving the standard residual stream, evaluated on Hindi FineWeb-2 fine-tuning and downstream benchmarks. All training, validation, routing analysis, and downstream evaluation were conducted on an NVIDIA DGX Spark, with Delta Block achieving the best validation loss/perplexity and the highest overall downstream average.
